HERE'S THE SITUATION:

	I am pretty much your typical engineering undergrad with 
French bio undergrad wife, 2 Franco-American daughters (4 & 14), 
little money and a bad (we're talking *BAD*) hurt to ski.

	A serious, in-depth investigation of the family ways-and-
means has revealed a rather bleak winter forecast:  enough cash 
for a couple of days by the standard lodging/lift route, but not 
the hoped-for 1 - 2 weeks of high-intensity experience.


WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?

	I really don't know what the possibilities are.  I have 
heard of various kinds of `shares' (as I said, I do have some cash), 
packages, etcetera, but I lack the necessary connections.  I have 
considered organizing a group outing so that we could `tag along' 
at a discount, but again, I don't have the needed information.  
We would be open to a shared Christmas vacation with another family 
of desperate skiers, if this is an option.
	I eagerly solicit any fresh ideas that promise snow.


CAN YOU HELP?

	Do you have experience with any of the above?  Do you have
a situation that might be of mutual benefit?  Are you in the same
boat (or a complementary one)?  Do you have any suggestions or know
anybody who `knows'?
	Then you can help!  Please drop me a line by e-mail or more
mundane methods (see below).


	Note:  We are based in California but will cheerfully pack
off to Timbuktu if the price is right!



	Yours desperately,

			Galen (Pray For An Early Winter) Cochran



P.S.  	I also need help with hardware!  Nicole (my wife) and
Soleil (the 4-year-old) both need beginner/intermediate outfits.
You wanna sell that old stuff?
